Valve using ChromeEC doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Framework already does it in their laptops.

It doesn't mean that Valve will use ChromeOS. In fact, ChromeOS is a dead project - almost entire team at Google has been laid off, and their partner companies had a lot of... restructuring recently (will not elaborate about the details, it's not public knowledge yet).

It's a sane, opensource implementation of SIO/EC written in Zephyr. Much easier to develop your own EC FW with STM32 or chip from Nuvoton than deal with garbage from iTE where you get disaster written in ARCompact and lackluster documentation (assuming you get any at all, since working with this company is so awful that you'll get ghosted even if you're their customer with NDA and everything).

Hopefully this explains why Valve is adding support for ChromeEC ACPI in their drivers.
